Is it just me or is it a little hard to look at old photos and remember the details? I look at old photos and can generally guess the year it was taken, but might not remember where, why or what the occasion.

Well, for our baby boy, I didn’t want to look back at photos of him and try to guess how old he was. And with how little sleep I am anticipating, I’m guessing that recalling details will be even more challenging.

Some of my favorite mommy and daddy bloggers take monthly photos of their children in the most adorable onesies that show how many months old the child is. See baby Clara’s pics from Young House Love and little Eleanor from Making it Lovely. I love this concept, but didn’t want to purchase or make onesies for each month.

Then, I randomly discovered several Etsy sellers offering adorable stickers that you can simply add to a basic white onesie each month. And with a lawyer husband who wears a suit every single day, I thought these tie onesie stickers were fitting for our little man. At just $9, you can’t find a better deal. We ordered the “Blues original” from Purple Possom. I can’t wait to start this tradition! They go all the way to two years old.

I can’t wait to get creative with taking monthly photos of our little man! What fun finds can you share for capturing sweet little moments with baby? Live the fancy life!

We take a picture of Carson each month with a big teddy bear to see how much he grows! We’ll continue to take one each year on his birthday after he reaches 1! It is fun to see how he big he gets compared to the bear.

I believe that it's possible to live a fancy life in small ways every day. I'm a PR pro, blogger and freelance writer living in the frozen tundra of Minneapolis with my adorable little man and my amazing husband. I dabble in party planning, interior design, photography, baking creatively and anything mama and baby related.
